The chair for compiler construction was represented by Prof. Jerónimo Castrillón and Andrés Goens during a special session on “Programming models and methods for heterogeneous parallel embedded systems” at the 10th IEEE International Symposium on Embedded Multicore/Many-core Systems-on-Chip (MCSoC-16) in Lyon, France.

The session, chaired by Prof. Castrillón, also included talks from Prof. Haubelt from the University of Rostock (DE) and Prof. Mattavelli from the EPFL (CH). Andrés Goens presented the work: “Why Comparing System-level MPSoC Mapping Approaches is Difficult: a Case Study”, which compares, for the first time, two large frameworks for mapping Kahn Process Network applications to heterogeneous MPSoCs. A work of the CC chair in collaboration with Prof. Pimentel from the University of Amsterdam and partly supported by a HiPEAC Collaboration Grant. The session was well visited, with over 50 attendees.
